"VeinViewer Vision2 is about listening to the hardest working person in the hospital, the floor nurse, and making the best even better," said Chris Schnee, general manager and vice president of sales and marketing for Christie. "They asked for head-to-toe imaging without needing to reposition the device. They asked for multiple color combinations to put them in control. We delivered. Their skills, our technology, better results when used together."

Proven Results
From the recent Infusion Nurses Society position on "Recommendations for Improving Safety Practices With Short Peripheral Catheters" vein visualization technology can "improve success rates, decrease unsuccessful insertion attempts, and improve patient satisfaction." Only Christie medical evidence was cited as the three supporting evidence papers in the panel's research regarding the recommendation.

VeinViewer has been shown to increase peripheral intravenous (PIV) first-stick success by up to 100 percent, reduce medically unnecessary PICC placements by greater than 30 percent and improve patient satisfaction by 100 percent. VeinViewer technology was developed with the aid of the engineering capabilities and resources of parent company Christie Digital Systems, a leading global visual technology firm.
